How to store JSON in mysql laravel

So, i'm trying to store data in database as JSON, i've seen the built-in notification table doing that.

I created a field of type "text" and i'm storing this (example)

{"filenames":["D0BmpFOdyUp4YyA8tqpL60VxO9kXsfciP9eLhIxd.jpeg","nAAs1xeErQSxPGxPvP68bCMn4a0E3y4EcgwfCwJl.png"],"title":"asdasdasa","content":"adasdasa"}

It returns me string as expected, how do i make it understand as an array?

Do i have to add something in the model or...?

Thanks.

See attribute Casting in Laravel's documentation. In your Eloquent model class, add a $casts property, for example:

/**
 * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $casts = [
    'your_column_name' => 'array'
];

From Laravel Docs:

The $casts property on your model provides a convenient method of converting attributes to common data types. The $casts property should be an array where the key is the name of the attribute being cast and the value is the type you wish to cast the column to.
